Sony DSC-U10 Manual

When shooting night scenes, shooting portraits, or 
shooting landscapes, use the modes listed below to 
improve the quality of your images.

The soft snap mode lets you shoot skin colors in 
brighter and warmer tones for more beautiful pictures. 
In addition, the soft focus effect creates a gentle 
atmosphere for portraits of people, flowers, etc.

The illumination snap mode lets you capture beautiful 
images of both subjects and night scene backgrounds at 
the same time. In addition, the cross filter effect 
enhances street lamps or other lights with cross-shaped 
rays.

The flash strobes in

as the sky, ocean and mountains, letting you shoot 
natural landscapes with vivid, striking colors.
